Chapter 285: Counterattack!
"Lhasa recovered! Lhasa is restored! ”
"Heng Shuai sent troops to Tibet Province, and Yang Sen angrily seized Lhasa!"
"Look at the newspaper and read the newspaper, Heng Shuai has quelled the rebellion three times, and he has conquered Tibetan Province!"
The cries of the newsboys sounded in the city of Chengdu.
The "Sichuan Daily", which was just published, was sold out in an instant!
Wang Hengyue, the envoy of the southwest patrol and the commander-in-chief of Ding[***], sent troops to Tibet Province three times, and finally succeeded!
Tibetan Province has repeatedly rebelled and rebelled, and it has always been a big trouble, but today, it has finally been pacified, and [***] has been driven to India again!
There is only one name for the one who created all this:
Wang Hengyue!
Wang Hengyue has become a legendary name, and his exploits in counterinsurgency three times have quickly spread throughout the country.
Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui, who were fighting endlessly in Yanjing, also telegraphed the whole country to praise Wang Hengyue's glorious deeds of quelling the rebellion.
Sun Wen, the temporary political axe of Guangzhou, also sent a congratulatory telegram at one moment.
Wang Hengyue, by using three Tibetan provinces to quell the rebellion, pushed his reputation to a new height.
The only ones who were not happy were probably the British.
The British spent too much energy in Tibetan Province and consumed a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but in the end, this person named Wang Hengyue appeared!
Wang Hengyue maintained a very "friendly" relationship with the British. They are cooperating on all fronts, and they are also of great help to the ongoing war in Europe. His tung oil, pig bristles and other materials were all over Europe, and coal and copper ore were also sold to the British and French.
The British were very satisfied with Wang Hengyue, the first warlord in the southwest, but the only thing that made them unhappy was Wang Hengyue's attitude towards Tibetan Province.
But there was no way, now the British were all focused on the war in Europe, and there was no time to deal with the problem of Tibetan provinces. Moreover, Wang Hengyue's dispatch of troops this time was too fast. Before the British could react and were ready to intervene, Lhasa had already fallen into the hands of Wang Hengyue.
The only thing the British could do now was to wait until the war in Europe was over and then refocus on Tibet.
But will Wang Hengyue still give them this opportunity?
The huge prestige has led to a surge in the membership of the National Socialist Party, which is a very good phenomenon.
Although the Kuomintang and Sun Wen constantly criticized Wang Hengyue as a warlord, this warlord stopped the country's rebellion and safeguarded the integrity of the country's territory and the dignity of its sovereignty!
What's more, what is the difference between you Sun Wen and a warlord in Guangzhou?
A larger move by the National Socialist Party began.
"Sichuan Yuebao" began to publish signed articles one after another. In the article, the reasons for the overthrow of the Manchus began.
"In the past, the Manchu regime was riddled with holes, the people were struggling, the foundation had long been shaken, Sichuan Baolu, Wuchang gunshots, Sun Wen were all ten armed riots overseas, most of them were led by Huang Xing and other revolutionary aspirants, Sun Wen also forced the Qing court to abdicate overseas, Yuan Shikai completed it in a bloodless way, and his great achievements were great"
The article began to separate Sun Wen from the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
The articles published later are even more shocking, most of which are some personal memories and materials:
"Around the beginning of June 1900, Dr. Sun (Sun Wen never received a doctorate or honorary doctorate in his life, and it is pure falsehood to say that he was a doctorate. It's a mistranslation of Dr. - Doctor. He is a medical school graduate and has also practiced medicine. Met with the French Minister Jules. Halfmond hoped to receive the help of French [***] fire equipment and French [***] advisers, and in exchange for Mr. Halmond's report, Sun Yat-sen offered to give the French a large concession in South China
At the end of December 1902 or January 1903, Sun Yat-sen arrived in Hanoi to meet with the private secretary of the French governor, and Dr. Sun promised that after the establishment of the Federal Republic in South China, he would turn to France for help, and in order to obtain French support, he would give him a large concession. ’
In March 1910, Sun Wen and the American Homer. Leigh and Booth met, and 'the three men established a syndicate in which Dr. Booth appointed Booth as the sole financial representative abroad for both the syndicate and the Confederate, and gave him full authority to process loans, collect payments, and purchase all Army and Navy equipment. The Syndicate retained the right to take charge of the loans for the construction of the railroad, to cede the Manchurian mineral deposits to American supporters, and to redirect the loans to China's economic construction after the establishment of the Provisional Political Axe. The Americans agreed to raise $3.5 million over 17 months, to be paid to Dr. Sun in four installments. ’
Dr. Sun promised to act at the suggestion of the British political axe, and he promised to give Britain and the United States preferential treatment over all other countries. He would place the Chinese navy under the command of the British [***] officers who would obey his personal orders, and he would act on the advice of the British. Because the British political axe pinned its hopes on Yuan Shikai, they ignored these suggestions
After the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe, Sun Wen, as the provisional president, together with Secretary-General Hu Hanmin, held talks with Sen Ke, representatives of the Mitsui Foundation, Miyazaki and Junzaburo Yamada. Prior to the talks, Mori Ke and others had been instructed by Katsura Taro, a veteran of the political circles who had served as prime minister, and Aritomo Yamayama, in an attempt to conclude a secret agreement with Sun Wen and other revolutionaries to bring the three eastern provinces under the ownership of the party.
During the talks, Sun Wen said: "At the beginning of this event, Yu and others planned to entrust Manchuria to the Chinese revolution, hoping to assist the Chinese revolution. If the political axe can 'provide financial assistance quickly,' either Yu or Huang Xingzhong can go to the capital to meet with the Duke of Gui and discuss the future of the Manchurian issue and the revolutionary political axe.' ’
At 6 p.m. on the day of the talks, Sen Ke also sent an urgent telegram to the person concerned, revised by Sun Wen and Hu Hanmin, which stated: "With regard to the lease of Manchuria, Sun Wen has promised that if he can borrow 10 million yuan in addition to the 5 million yuan borrowed by Han Yeping Company, then the peace agreement between Sun and Yuan Shikai can be suspended, and Sun Wen or Huang Xing can go to the company to conclude a secret treaty on Manchuria." The matter was full of twists and turns, and in the end it was not completed due to the opposition of Shinroku Ishimoto, the Minister of War of the People's Republic of China. The reason is that 'according to the viewpoint of the expansionists in the military department, in the two wars between China and Russia, Manchuria was the place for which he shed his precious blood, and he deserved all rights and interests, and did not need to be bribed with money. ’
On January 10, 1912, just after the establishment of the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe, Sun Wen sent a letter to Yoshiro Sakatani, who had served as Minister of Finance, entrusting him to establish the Central Bank of China. At the same time, he also telegraphed to Sakaya, "The establishment of a central bank should be carried out expeditiously." Ten days later, Hanya replied to Sun Wen, saying, "I have received a telegram from you and on the 10th day of the first month of the first year of the Republic of China, I have entrusted Hanya with the establishment of the Central Bank of your country." It stipulates that 'the term of validity of the licence shall be 50 years from the date of delivery of the licence. ''The bank has the prerogative to issue banknotes. Other functions include 'the collection and exit of the national treasury', 'the collation of domestic and foreign treasury bonds and the handling of new treasury bonds', 'the consolidation and transformation of currency', 'management of the import and export of stamped paper, etc.', 'the establishment of a political axe to supervise the bank's business', and so on. The 'full authority to appoint and dismiss' important personnel was also handed over to Sakaya
After the Song case, Sun Wen thought, 'If you help me, I will win, and if you help Yuan, Yuan will win.' According to this guiding ideology, Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai did not hesitate to win the support of Yue Ben.
As soon as these articles appeared, the whole country was in an uproar.
Combined with a letter from Sun Wen that was previously said to have been leaked by Huang Xing, the publication of these in Sichuan Yue Bao also adds credibility.
This letter was written by Sun Wen on May 11, 1914 to Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma. There are four main points in the letter:
"China can play a bigger role with Japan than India can do with Britain. Sun Wen said: "Britain's three islands are not very vast, but people do not know that its national strength has expanded, and with the continent of India as the big market of the mother country, the world powers have never been able to compete with it." It is said that the development of this country has been exhausted, and there is no room for maneuver, while China has a vast land and resources that have not yet been developed. Today, it is said that Britain is to India, without the labor cost of setting up troops to defend it, and to get China's big market, the benefits are doubled, and the so-called leap to become the world's first male is also. That is to say, China can offer Ben a cheaper and more profitable role to Britain than the colony of India. Specifically, internal affairs, foreign affairs, military affairs, industry, justice, etc., all rely on the help of the capital, and the market of the whole of China can be opened to benefit the industry and commerce of the country, which is tantamount to monopolizing the interests of trade
Yuan Shikai's political axe is actually the opposite. Yuan and his political axe 'feigned and said that this week, and the yin affairs were excluded or the political axe was violated, and the people were opposed, or their rights had been promised, and they were granted to other countries. His strength is not enough to consolidate himself, and he is afraid that the Kuomintang is friendly with Yueben, so on the surface, he still buys the joy of Yueben and sets the consolidation of his position more than it does now, and his treatment of Yueben will be even worse than today!
Until the Kuomintang achieves its goal of seizing power, China will not be able to be stable
It is said that if you can help the revolutionary party, you will have great benefits, so you must dare to go beyond the routine and help the Kuomintang. Sun Wen said frankly that "the Chinese Revolutionary Party has no strong country to help it beforehand, and its hopes will not be realized," but "it is not a common practice in the world to help the People's Party of a country and subvert its political axe." However, in ancient and modern times, only extraordinary people can do extraordinary things, and make extraordinary achievements, stealing that Your Excellency is an extraordinary person, and now you have an extraordinary opportunity, and Your Excellency is rejuvenating its economic prosperity. ’”
The publication of this letter in those years seriously damaged the image of the Kuomintang and caused a major split within the Kuomintang.
And now, this letter has been brought up again, and it has once again become a sharp weapon against Sun Wen.
With the help of the successful counterinsurgency in Tibetan Province and the new peak of his personal prestige, Wang Hengyue's counterattack against the Kuomintang began!
